We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 8 in column 3 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 3 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.
